186 and on an XL.

 

Current brand of bike large cut off at 185cm. Had a L previously as per recommendation from bike shop.

Seat post was extended past point of safety and had to get an XL after a few months of complaining....

Im curious which brand that is?

Spaz.

 

After getting all parties involved, everyone VERY accommodating and sorted me out with a deal on something of the correct size and upgrade.

I am still a happy customer and very happy with the XL.

 

Reach was fine on the L, inseam was the issue. Long legs, short arms...

1,88 m tall, large mtb frame, 29er.  For a comfortable fit on Silverback and Specialized.  Have noticed a slight cramped feeling on other brands, but haven't paid much attention as they were not mine and I would only investigate further if I'm considering a change of wheels.

Unfortunately most riders and even shops don,t really understand geometry and the difference it makes .It is only when you have a few bikes that you can compare them with each other directly .All of us will adapt to what we ride and just accept that you cannot do this or that and blame your own abilities ,especially with technical mtb riding .Most folks don,t have a clue how the placement of the bottom bracket backwards{reach } improves all aspects of technical riding

bike frame size means very little to me, really just a starting point.

 

have had a medium Schwinn Madison (just fit me)

currently on an XL rocky mountain (canadians must be smaller than i remembered).

Ah, exactly why I asked because it rang the bell of sixth sense! My large specialized comes across as borderline too small as well, but with the setback seatpost its forced into working adequately.

1.91 on XL but i have ro be careful because I've got disproportionately long legs. If the rest of me matched id be close to 2.0m so i end up with a very high saddle and a long way to reach to the bars.

 

Dropper post essential!
